International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation
of national standards bodies. This document provides guidance on representing

Consortium specifications.</p>

</span>Design Approach</h1>

<p class=MsoNormal>This document recommends that implementers of HR-XML
Consortium specifications conform to ISO codes for currency, country, gender,
and names of languages. The document also sets out XML schema types that HR-XML
workgroups SHOULD incorporate within their specifications to support
conformance with the ISO codes.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The XML schema types presented in this document are designed
to support (but do not directly include) code sets that have been standardized
by the International Organization for Standardization.&nbsp; In each case, the
schema includes a pattern to ensure that the code transmitted conforms to the
format &#8211; but not necessarily the content &#8211; prescribed under the ISO
standard. </p>

<p class=MsoNormal>An alternative approach considered, but rejected, by the
HR-XML Consortium&#8217;s Technical Steering Committee was to enumerate the
actual codes prescribed under the ISO standards within HR-XML schemas.&nbsp;
The approach of specifying a pattern to enforce the format of the particular
ISO code set was favored over enumerating the codes themselves for the
following reasons:</p>

<p class=number style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;
margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:black'>&sect;</span><span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span>Including the ISO code sets by reference, instead of including the codes
directly, spares the HR-XML Consortium the burden of having to edit and update
enumerations each time a new version of the particular ISO specification is
published. </p>

<p class=number style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;
margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:black'>&sect;</span><span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span>Many ISO specifications are copyrighted and available only if a
licensing fee is paid.&nbsp; By merely recommending the use of the ISO codes,
but not including their content, HR-XML avoids any possible copyright or
licensing controversies.</p>

<p class=number style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;
margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:black'>&sect;</span><span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span>The approach of enforcing the format of the codes, rather than the
content, is relatively simple. In most cases, the format of the code will
remain constant, while the actual code content will change over time. Enforcing
the format of the codes adds little overhead to the development and maintenance
of HR-XML specifications, yet it supports conformance with recognized
international standards.</p>

<p class=number style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;
margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:black'>&sect;</span><span
style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span>Business logic for handling country and language code data and other
codes often will be handled by a receiving system regardless of whether
interchange data was validated against a complete list of ISO codes. For
example, many companies &#8211; even those with wide-ranging global operations
&#8211; may not have a compelling business reason to use the full 136 language
codes within ISO 639-1:2002, Code for the Representation of Names of Languages.
In such cases, parsing data against an enumerated list of the full 136
ISO-recognized language codes would add some overhead without a commensurate
benefit for the implementer.</p>

</span>Use of &#8220;xml:lang&#8221; (language as metadata)</h3>

<p class=MsoNormal>The official RECOMMENDATION of the Consortium is to use the
&#8220;xml:lang&#8221; attribute, as defined by the W3C, to indicate the
language of data content.&nbsp; For example, the following indicates that the
Address data is in English.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&lt;Address&nbsp; xml:lang=&#8221;en&#8221;&gt;123 Main Street&lt;/Address&gt;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The LanguageDependentText and LanguageDependentTextType can
be used as a standard element of text that is language dependent.&nbsp; </p>

<h3><a name="_Toc127534578">6.3.2</a><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:
"Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Use
of XML Schema data type &#8220;language&#8221; (language as data)</h3>

<p class=MsoNormal>When the language itself is needed as a data object, such as
needing to capture what language a person speaks, then the XML Schema
&#8220;language&#8221; data type is used.&nbsp; For example, the following
shows that a benefit plan participant speaks German.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&lt;ParticipantPrimaryLanguage&gt;de&lt;/
ParticipantPrimaryLanguage&gt;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The LanguageCode and LanguageCodeType can be used to capture
language as a data element.&nbsp; In the interest of simplicity, the Consortium
preference is to use the ISO 639-1 two-character code when possible; however,
this is not required.</p>

</span>Data Privacy</h1>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-autospace:none'>Human
resources data, by its very nature, is personal data. The laws of many
jurisdictions as well as codes of fair information practice require
organizations to handle personal data in a way that protects individuals from
loss of privacy.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-autospace:none'>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-autospace:none'>The
data exchange specifications developed by the HR-XML Consortium are designed to
be useful across many jurisdictions and within a variety of business contexts.
It is not feasible for the HR-XML Consortium to develop specific privacy
guidance for every jurisdiction or business context in which the Consortium's
specifications might be implemented. When implementing data exchanges using the
HR-XML Consortium's data definitions (or, for that matter, any data exchange
mechanism), organizations are advised to examine the privacy protections that
may be required under applicable law or codes of fair information practice.</p>
